Brian McKnight, best remembered for his classic hits “One Last Cry“, “6, 8, 12″ and “Back At One“, is also making the tour a family affair this time around and will be joined on tour by his brother Claude McKnight (Take 6) and sons BJ and Niko also known as “BRKN RBTZ” (broken robots), for what promises to be a spectacular one-of-a kind show.
